Wallabies v South Africa - Live scores Durban 23/8/08

[jargan83]

He set up a try by a very nice grubber kick which Lote bottled, it was a certain try.

Was that the one we got a 5m scrum because a saffer beat Lote to the ball?

You gotta remember there are 2 teams out there, this isn't a training run. There would have been some desperate saffers out there and more so this week. Instead of celebrating a landmark victory in the land of the saffer people are bagging out some players. Move on with your lives people, AUSTRALIA WON!! Sure the quality of the game can be best described as scrappy, big whoop.

We got the result we wanted in a place we hadn't for many a year, whats more important? Playing flashy razzle dazzle Rugby or grinding out a win?

No, that was another occasion when Lote only needed to pick it up and he had a clear run to the line, but I think he tried to kick it but missed or something and stuffed it.

watch it again, he had a saffa defender right there at the same time and toed ahed but got beaten to the ball!

[travelling_gerry]

so Lote got beaten?

[force addict]

hard to believe since he is one of the fastest wingers

[waratahjesus]

maybe if drews kick had been to the left instead of the rushed stab he used towards south african defenders lote would have had an easier time!

honestly! its apples and oranges, Lote didnt bomb the try, the try was defended, it happens, it was only 50/50 at best and ont hat occasion he got beaten!

[travelling_gerry]

Believe it F-A.

If WJ says so then so it is.

[Flamethrower]

Lote didn't stuff it up, it was that bloody Force player who didn't kick it right so Lote could score another gift.

Believe it F-A.

If WJ says so then so it is.

he isn't the fastest he is the best!
but your right there, im probably the only poster on this entire site with any credibility!

brown doesnt even belong with the standard of players you just mentioned! Waugh not international standard? you have to be joking there, if waugh was off contract the force would take him over brown wihtout hesitation!

Yes at 7, possibly at 8, definetly not at 6.

Face it, Waugh is no longer the player he once was. He had a great Super 14, but his effort with the Wallabies so far has been unspectacular. He's played alright when coming on as a sub, but the one game he got the start against NZ he was one of the worst on the field.

Brown had a great season as well and deserves a chance to show what he has. If he were a Tah you guys might have beat the Crusaders. If he were a Tah you'd be on here complaining he hasn't gotten a go.

I'm not saying Brown is better than Waugh or Smith but if Elsom is out they really should be playing Brown or maybe Mumm at 6, not experimenting with Waugh out of position again.

[waratahjesus]

i agree with not playing waugh at 6, i never argued that, you cant hold that game against new zealand as testiment to waugh being past it, if you used that game as a rule we wouldnt be able to field a wallabies side cos no one played well!

i rate hoiles and mcmen ahead of brown at the moment, im not even saying a tahs player should have the spot, im saying Brown is rightfully at the back of the pecking order and i dont want them to drop who they have in order for him to "have a go" mumm & mcmen cover second and back row, hoiles covers the whole back row, Brown is a 6, but he isnt needed in the current set up, i dont think he brings anything new or better than the status quo!

Well I guess you allowed to have an opinion for now....

sorry, you want to drop smith? have you watched any games this year at all? brown doesn't stack up against rocky, waugh, smith and palu at all and mumms ability to play row or flanker will count ahead of him. ad hoiles and mcmen to that list and brown is there for development not a run!

Sorry, there is a Tahs player and you don't want to see someone dropped to slot him in? Who are you and what have you done with waratahjesus?! Yes George Smith has been amazing for the Wallabies but I think he needs a break and to be in top shape for the decider. Waugh is behind him but not that far behind and deserves a chance to prove himself. As does Brown at 8.
